What a lovely practice to bring us out of our own heads. When we feel hard, maybe steeling our hearts against the hardness of the world, we can, through touch, bring ourselves into the present moment with touch, feeling something soft, signalling safety to our nervous system. Thanks for this lovely idea. 🙏

Yes!! Thank you. Love that there is no end. I can keep focusing on what I’m receiving and releasing until I’m done. 🦋 Years later this is still one of my top two titles here. Top guided. My other one is music. Many thanks.
